Been an exciting but busy week so far. Spent Saturday evening assembling a Pre Painted MDF building kit from 4ground which was there Corner Ruins 1 Set. I also got four more wrecked cars from Project Zeke miniatures painted and ready for gaming with. I picked up a scenic mat from a Railway store so no more game on bare tabletop. I decided on going for a tarmac one as I think it fits the post apoc them a little more than just a green one. I now have some flock so when I am in the mood I shall have a play with adding some greenery to my LOTR Ruins I showed previously.
The first one I painted is on the left. The other four I decided to do different coloured body work before making them appear worn and rusty.
Here is my new mat not bad Its not quite 3x3 but for £6 I can't grumble. This was a mock setup Monday night for Tuesday's game which I sadly neglected to take any pics of.......Doh! nevermind. I bordered the one edge with some green scouring pads to just fill the table out. I think it looks much better. I intende to make a 3x3 board at some point and have this mat on one side and something else (cobblestones probably) on the other.

Last night I introduced my good friend Pulp citizen to a game of Across the Dead Earth in which Leon fielded Adam's Family who took on the Redclaw in a grudge match and wiped them out to a man! Well done sir it was good game and despite me as the Redclaws being wiped out I really enjoyed it and look forward to playing some more games with him.
Painting figure wise I haven't really touched much since doing the two State members last week, Though for a small break from post apocalyptic stuff I have started on a figure for Empire of the Dead.
Nice setup Brummie, now I need to check out those Project Zeke wrecked vehicles.
ReplyDeleteThanks Terry, There are some more products coming soon another type of car wreck I think as well as some more cool looking survivors.
DeleteGlad you had a good game and maybe it will get Pulp citizen interested in the game. Shame no pics of it, but at least you had a good game.
ReplyDeletePulp Citizen is already interested Clint; he backed the Kickstarter! :)
DeleteCheers for the game Simon, most enjoyable, although my dice rolling was very lucky at times, and I seemed to have the right event cards at the right times unfortunately. But thanks again mate. :)
Leon.
Thanks for coming. Your the first person ever to come over to my house for a game since restarting the hobby.
DeleteI am very honoured then mate. :)
DeleteNice work Brum, I like the way you've painted the cars.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray :)
DeleteLove the look of those cars and of course the mat, which was a bargain.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. I intend on getting some kind of swamps or something and perhaps have a submerged car in it :D
DeleteI love those wrecked cars and your new game board is a good find too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan. Its just a sheet of like sand paper type material but with a mixed flock on it so it looks like tarmac.
DeleteThose cars have come out well mate.
ReplyDeleteCheers Scott :D
DeleteExcellent. I am awaiting the imminent arrival of Mars Attacks which will require a similar board. Wrecked cars! Need those!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate. They are so easy to get done. Link to Project Zeke miniatures at the top of the blog :)
DeleteAny gaming's fun win or lose. Nice mat too dude!
ReplyDeleteTo right! Thanks mate!
DeleteCool new game mat you got, and the cars loos really old and rusty great work mate!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate. They were really easy to paint as well.
DeleteThat's a lot of wrecked cars! Then again, it always amazes me just how many are out there every time I go to a shopping mall :D.
ReplyDeleteAh, the terrain boards. You got pretty much the same problem I have, so I'm always interested in seeing what you figure out. Green pads are great to represent forested area, so all you need now is some trunks for the trees to "imply" it!
Also, a random idea but try building your board in height - at least with Strange Aeons, I noticed that multi level really helps in making a game interesting. Especially as there are rules for falling! :D
Thanks it still doesn't look like there is enough though!
DeleteThe board is tricky because I want it to be reversible but then I have to think on how its going to be stored as well. Something that's totally flat is far easier to tuck away. Its a way off yet. Need to source materials and make my mind up about the other side of it.
Good set-up Brummie, the car wrecks cry out "apocalypse"
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe. Its starting to come together a bit now.
DeleteThe new mat loks great, superb idea for a gaming surface
ReplyDeleteThanks it was cheap and effective looking yet minimal time and effort was required which I think is a bonus.
DeleteThe cars looks good Simon tarmac was a good choice that was my choice for modern horror. Shame there aren't and pictures from the game good you could get a game in at home though.
ReplyDeleteThanks Robert. It will work with most post apoc settings as well. with proper dressing.
DeleteReally snazzy set-up you've got now, mate ;)
ReplyDeleteFYI, new cars are cast and I finished painting one today. Pics and release this weekend.
